I bought it from my elderly great aunt for $200 and sold it for a whopping $600. So, it was an investment of sorts. But every old mechanic that laid eyes on it offered me money for it. Which was oh so tempting but then I would have been biking it everywhere and then I would have missed out on letting my boyfriend at the time (NOT now husband) out of the passenger side which he found pretty amusing...oh the ways we separate the jerks from the princes :)<br /><br />Hyacynth, I'm still laughing about "Bonerville"!!! :)Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07110768592676405839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356238098880523445.post-30252537934559875592010-09-15T00:40:32.309-05:002010-09-15T00:40:32.309-05:00Why is it name as ugly car, I could not understand...Why is it name as ugly car, I could not understand ?

I'm sorry that you're a little jealous of my Topaz. Trust me - nobody else was! It wasn't quite as cute as your picture. It was a 4-door without the illegally-dark tinted windows. And my dad paid a whopping $500 cash for it!<br /><br />Great post!

Although I can't really complain about the vehicle that was my inaugural transportation: my parents initially bought a Nissan Sentra for my brother and I to putter around in, then decided at the very last minute that their baby girl would drive my dad's truck instead - a huge, double-cab Ford F350. (Their logic was that there really wasn't anything safer for me to drive other than a tank.) I'm pretty sure mine was the biggest car in the parking lot. But to this day, a truck is my dream vehicle, no lie :)Lenaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14128174350293301827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356238098880523445.post-87288175922993034882010-09-14T11:56:38.834-05:002010-09-14T11:56:38.834-05:00I think Lori wins.

Although I have to say I found myself feeling old when some of these first cars were from the mid to late 90's. Not only do I feel old having started driving in the 80's, but I realize it wasn't until 2000 that I moved up to a <br />90's model vehicle.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08863579550620358675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356238098880523445.post-83083268349740500922010-09-14T11:04:29.567-05:002010-09-14T11:04:29.567-05:00ha ha, I loved the Veronica Maxima nickname too......ha ha, I loved the Veronica Maxima nickname too...way cooler than what my sister named my car "Smalls"Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01014699148300634736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356238098880523445.post-22038999430931601232010-09-14T10:19:07.393-05:002010-09-14T10:19:07.393-05:00This is SO funny!

I am still laughing.<br /><br />Thanks for taking the time to share the first-car-joy. :)<br /><br />(Mine, BTW, was a zippy little 1990 Dodge Dynasty. It was black. It had amazing pickup. :) It was an awesome, awesome car. And happened to have been my first boyfriends' car before it was mine. LOTS of memories in that thing! It ran beautifully, but we had to donate it in 2007 because a computer chip died and cost a ton to replace.
